ALICIA KEYS TALKS PREGNANCY, BLENDED FAMILIES, & CHILDREN’S BOOK ON ‘WENDY’

In between preparing for her second child and juggling her music career, Alicia Keys paid a visit to “The Wendy Williams Show” on Wednesday to promote her new children’s book. The pregnant songstress said that she is due at the end of December, but wouldn’t reveal the baby’s gender (although Wendy tried it).

She also gushed about her husband of four years, Swizz Beatz. “We’ve known each other forever, so I think that’s always the thing that kinda makes us feel like we just have kindred spirits.”

In September, she threw a Coming to America-themed birthday bash for Swizz’s 36th birthday. “It’s fun because I always want to outdo him and he always wants to outdo me,” said Alicia.

When asked if she wants more kids, she replied, “I don’t know. We should probably get through this one first.”

Swizz’s ex-wife Mashonda and Alicia were able to put aside their differences and blend their families for the sake of their children. “It’s about the kids, and so when everybody is able to be an adult, which we all are able to be, there’s actually a beautiful value about the way we can influence each other’s lives and the lives of the kids,” she said.

This week she released her children’s book Blue Moon: From the Journals of Mama Mae and LeeLee. “We really modeled the relationship after myself and my grandmother,” explained Alicia.

Wendy also presented the hot mama with a sparkly onesie for her baby, who may arrive on New Year’s Eve.

While standing at the podium in the press briefing room, RiRi pretended to be “Scandal” Press Secretary Abby Whelan (“#heyAbby,” she wrote), and posed with her pals including BFFs Melissa Forde and Jenn Rosales in the West Wing.

“West Wing Posse!! We wanna be O.P.A. so bad!!! #DayAtTheWhiteHouse,” she said.

“CYRUS!!! LET ME IN!!” #DayAtTheWhiteHouse,” she said, referring to Cyrus Beene (played by Jeff Perry), and also shouted out Tony Goldwyn’s character President Fitzgerald Grant (“Fitz, darling…”).

BACK ON KARDASHIANS, SNOOP DOG & OTHERS ATTEND RAPPER FRENCH MONTANA 30TH B'DAY PARTY

She's back with her boo thang! There was no question that Khloe Kardashian was in the mood for celebrating her on-again boyfriend French Montana's 30th birthday on Sunday night.
However, not only did the reality star reveal her feelings, she also revealed a little too much skin, seemingly unaware of just how see-through her sheer dress was under the flashbulbs as she went without a bra.

The 30-year-old suffered the wardrobe malfunction as she attended the star-studded 30th Birthday Party Powered by CIROC Pineapple in Los Angeles.  Dressed to thrill! 

Khloe Kardashian revealed perhaps a little more than intended as she attended apparent on-again boyfriend French Montana's 30th birthday bash in LA on Sunday night

Meanwhile, Khloe's sister Kim posed with momager Kris, 59, and little sister Kylie Jenner, 17, who appeared to be dressed rather inappropriately for the bash.

It is understandable that Kim appeared not to be in party mood at the event, having just got back from her extremely hectic trip to London.  

Meanwhile, in San Francisco, Kanye West was seen on daddy duty as he pushed their daughter North around in a stroller. It appears that all is back on between birthday boy French and Khloé, show dated for seven months before splitting in September.
